Airlines that fly the Boeing 737 MAX have had to repeatedly shuffle their schedules thanks to the ongoing grounding of the aircraft.
All three U.S. airlines that fly the plane have changed their schedules numerous times since the MAX was first grounded in March. Now, American, Southwest and United each have pushed the planned restart of the MAX into next year, but it's not completely clear when the jet might actually fly again.
United announced its latest update to its MAX schedule just last week, saying it would extend its MAX cancellations until Jan. 6. Previously, United had projected a Dec. 19 return.
But United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz acknowledged some...

Bombardier is expected to cede its ownership interest in the CSeries (A220) partnership to Airbus, according to BMO, much earlier than the agreement signed by the parties.
Using the proceeds of the sale to reduce the level of debt could become an important source of value creation, according to a research report released yesterday by BMO. Financing costs would decrease, but, perhaps more importantly, it would help alleviate investors' fears about the company's liquidity in the current context of the end of the cycle and economic uncertainty, it says.
"The value of the stake in the partnership combined with the amount to be generated by the sale of regional jets and possibly aerostructures division assets is greater than Bombardier's current market capitalization," Fadi Chamoun calculates.
This analyst believes that Bombardier can obtain 2.3 billion US from Airbus, from 700 to 800 million US for aerostructures division assets, in addition to 550 million US for its CRJ program, a transaction that must be concluded. in the first six months of the next year.
In total, it is 3.6 billion US that Bombardier can expect to obtain by selling these assets, thinks Fadi Chamoun.

Hunter killer assassins’: Why the Boeing saga is the story of our times
The autopsies in the death of the Boeing way now are coming as fast as the lawsuits.

The autopsies in the death of the Boeing way now are coming as fast as the lawsuits.
The legendary plane maker was tripped up by its own "corporate culture … of expediency of design-to-market and cost-cutting," contended an internal company whistleblower.
"Boeing made a calculated decision to … prioritize its bottom line," was how the Southwest Airlines pilots union put it in a recent lawsuit.
Even Forbes business magazine broached the taboo question: "Did Boeing Pay Too Much Attention to Wall Street?"
But the most revealing suggestion of how Boeing went astray came from a local aerospace engineer, Cynthia Cole, who led the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA) until 2010.
"It was two camps of managers, the Boeing Boy Scouts and the 'hunter killer assassins,' " she told The New Republic magazine. "How do you merge those two management philosophies? The hunter killer assassins will destroy the Boy Scouts. That's what happens."

October 17, 2019 by Al Jazeera English
When a commercial airplane crashed off the coast of Indonesia in October 2018, global aviation authorities were shocked.
The aircraft was a 737 MAX, one of the newest models of US manufacturer Boeing. And then when a second MAX dropped out of the sky in Ethiopia in March 2019, investigators said they believed that software on the airplane played a role in both crashes.
With 346 people dead and the MAX now grounded, aviation authorities around the globe have asked what went wrong, how the US certified the aircraft in 2017 and how oversight failed.
Families and investigators are still searching for answers. A former Boeing engineer who worked on the plane, and asked to remain anonymous, recalls that the design and testing of the 737 MAX took place amid immense commercial pressure. "Cost pressure and time. Time pressure was the biggest impact, biggest driver ...
[There was] immense pressure on getting the airplane to market as soon as possible," he told Fault Lines. "On the 737 MAX there was constant pressure to not change anything. From a cost perspective, change costs money. The business side drives the culture."
Captain Dennis Tajer from the Allied Pilots Association believes "the system failed". "The system is Boeing, the FAA, other oversight areas from within those groups," he says. "What's the measure on that judgment? These crashes. It's that simple: the system failed. It failed our passengers, it failed the globe." Fault Lines traces what led to the two plane crashes and asks if US aviation regulators have allowed the industry too much control over safety.

airBaltic Replaced 50 Airbus A220 Pratt & Whitney Engines In The Space Of 2 Years

airBaltic operates a fleet of 20 Airbus A220-300 aircraft.
In the first two years of the aircraft's operation, the airline replaced 50 engines. Having just 13 aircraft in that period means that almost every engine was replaced twice on average.
Yesterday, SWISS grounded its entire fleet of Airbus A220 aircraft pending detailed engine checks. The flag carrier of Switzerland encountered a third serious engine issue in the space of four months. As a result, the carrier decided that none of its A220 aircraft were to fly until detailed checks had been undertaken.
While this led to a number of flight cancellations, the first A220s have already been checked and re-entered service.

Sorry Greta - Flygskam – Why Flight Shaming Won’t Impact Climate

The young Swede, Greta Thunberg, who has taken a boat across the Atlantic (yacht copiloted by the grandson of a Monaco prince and Grace Kelly) and drove a Tesla across the country to protests at the University of Iowa (on load from Arnold Schwarzenegger) to promote a radical philosophy on the environment that includes flight shaming.
In July, year to year passenger traffic in Sweden was down 4%, the reduction attributed by some to flight shaming.
But then again Sweden is a country that is so politically correct that women now fear being raped by Islamic immigrants, against whom prosecutions are considered racist.
Flight shaming is just the latest version of environmental nonsense that has been promoted by activists for years.
Flygskam is a good name - as most English speakers would translate it to flight scam.

Original notes and articles
My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
